It's not really necessary for Ferrari to complain since every incident will be looked at if it's in their benefit anyway.
I'm off now to park my wifes twenty year old silver Mercedes 190E across the driveway of the local Ferrari dealers. |

Ten-Tenths is a motorsport internet forum with a large following of motorsport fans. There are also a large number of internet F1 news and view sites. There are probably countless motorsport blogs on the internet.
Lets use the power of the internet to bring this to a head. We don't need a physical presence at a meeting - fans from half way around the world can't do that. There will be motorsport fans on this forum who have backgrounds in marketing, media, politics and other useful fields/skills to help bring together a strong voice for F1 fans. There should be a considered approach and not one based on haste and revenge. Imagine a F1 fan association or whatever forms having a voice in the media as strong as those from the FIA/FOM and as credible (if not more). Might be pie in the sky stuff, but we should aim high. |

I think the sport could be run better and more fairly, and if there was a petition about that I'd sign that. But not with the wording on the current petition. |

F1 - downhill.
Just maybe they (FIA) will be pleased with all this chatter about F1, it might actually attract even greater viewing figures, potntially increasing Bernie's revenue.
I am struggling to think of anything constructive, other than shunning FIA events, which wouldn't be too hard. |

Did anyone notice Kimi overtake later on the same lap despite yellow flags being waved to indicate that Nico Rosberg had slid off the track.
And FIA say no investigation into that incident........ |

It's good to know we have forward-thinking types in charge of the sport and not some archaic old-boys network. |

The problem is that as long as we, the spectators, continue to watch the sport and pay attention to it nothing will really change. Despite many disputed rule changes and decisions we all are still watching the races.

Signed.
I would be prepared to go to Paris to protest in person, I feel so strongly about this. |

People have been given penalties for cutting corners before. The penalty used to be stop-gos, but seems to be drive-through these days. In the event of penalties being applied after races, 25-seconds being added on to the race time has occured on more than one instance through the years.
I'm not suggesting this penalty was sensible, but I find the reaction a bit OTT. It is another example of inconsistency, certainly. I don't, however, see what makes this example of inconsistency so extremely different to the others. Last edited by Dutton; 8 Sep 2008 at 22:31. |

So, then, if this example of inconsistency is not really any different to others, well, why have we got such a major reaction to it? There is normally a bit of bluster after these sorts of incidents, but this time it seems to have produced a much more vociferous response.
I find it rather intriguing. |

I have the reason. The majority of this forum is British, it is against a British driver. Done.

Actually Matt, I am not English, not a hamilton fan as such, and if I look at the places others come from on this forum and other internet forums around the world the reaction is predominantly the same.
Location or background is not the reason for the outpouring. A sense of fair play and the extreme manipuation of a sporting result is. |
